OK, here is a text effect I came up with yesterday while making some crappy design and since it turned out pretty nice, I decided to make a tut about it. So, we will be making this nice oily text:

So, start off by making a new canvas, and fill it with a dark background colour, we used black.
type the word u like… we used customized GauFont PopMagic.

go to layer >> layer styles >> blending options, and set the following settings:
- Inner Shadow

- Inner Glow

and also…
- Bevel and Emboss

- Contour Line Inside

- Contour
Pages: 1 2





















i love this typography …thanks for sharing man

I could not get the shiny effect either but did have fun… missing the oily part
Could be something to do with the layer styles settings I suppose.

Hello foreign friends,
There is no word in the English language as ‘shinny’ . There is however ‘shiny’ pronounced ‘shy-knee’. It means to shine. Good-day.

Hi – I have a general question regarding test effects – what is the general rule for print – Do text effects print well or there are some guidelines to follow?
Thanks

The Photoshop version does not matter as you just apply the settings, nothing else needed.
This font style is for P.SHOP 7.0 or ?
Good tutorial
